This is done for non-LAP message processing path in internal series under review to you, Leon, Mark for a while now. Since you are asking this more high level question, I like to ask what is the state of [1]? [1] is not submitted as RFC, so I presume that is strong need to drop this module. And if we are dropping ucm module out of the kernel than all the APIs which are only called by UCM module should go out too. And LAP message are part of it. So like to know whether to invest more energy in making this code right, which has almost no users? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
